HAPPENINGS ABROAD.
The German Official Press Lectures
Certain Ambitious Princes.

BERLIN, Sept 5.-Tonight's Official Press
confirms the statement made Saturday that
there will be no meeting of the Gar and the
Emperor William. The North German Ga
zette, in an inspired article, says: "The ds-
ty imposed by Germany's policy in the inter-
est of the empire and its dignity, is to main
tain the peace so long as compatible with
honor. The starting point of endeavor in
this direction is found only on the ground
covered by the treaties. The circum stances
that the otherwise successful peace policy Of
the German government for three summers
past, has been disturbed by Bulgaria and its
princes, is not calculated to attract the good
will of German politicians towards that
principality. 1t accords with the interests
Of the peace-loving and no less straightfor-
ward, German nation, that Germany should
in the councils Of Europe, throw her whole
weight into the scale in order to make Eu-
rope command peace to the ambitious Bulga-
rian princes and ministers, who are inclined
to set the continent in blaze. Germany
holds firmly to the treaties bro ken by the
Princes of Coburg and Battenburg. not for
the sake of pleasing other powers, but out Of
regard for her own signature. For frivolity
the peace of Europe was placed at stake
through Coburg. The Orleans enterprise is
not even a semblance of excuse for that en-
terprise. 1t Is only to be explained on the
understanding that Coburg Is the executor
Of the exclusively Orleanist policy"
What the Papers Say
LONDON, Sept. 5.-The Post regards the
result at Ennis yesterday with lively salts
| faction.
The Telegraph says: Seldom, even in
| the history of Irish agitation, has a greater
fiasco been witnessed. The imposing nation,
| al array had to sneak off into the field out Of
the way of the police to hold a hasty meet
| ing until dispersed by small troop of hus-
| sars."
The News says: "It is to the good sense
| Of the Irish people and their leaders that the
credit for a peaceful issue of the day is due
Both parties did their duty, and both may
| claim the victory. Only the authors of thu
| proclamation are defeated and rendered ri

| and his companions to evade the police ant
| make speeches at intervals on being movet
/ on, there is no reason to grudge them the
| amusement Of making themselves ridiculous
| We wish the Parnellites were as easily man
| aged in the House Of Commons as in thu
open air."
The standard reminds "fussy people like
Mr.. Stanhope," that whatever their position
is inside the House of Commons, outsid,
they are simply citizens subject to the law
1t says that the Ennis affair was humbuI
from first to last, and wonders that any mai
was ever seriously concerned about it.

BIDDEFoRD, Sept. 5.-Rev. Father Har-
rington, curate of st. Mary's church, Bidde-

his room, the sash of which was raised not
more than a foot and in the descent of
twenty odd feet probably struck rock that
projected from the foundation of the house.
Whether the case is one of accident or SUI

fact that Bryant has been Respondent of late

to the latter theory
